Rick, My Coupe would always over flow the header tank while on the ground. Apparently the fuel pump would pump more fuel than the return line will handle at the low power ground maneuvering speeds. It would also over flow while on final approach, at low throttle, higher RPM speeds. I just got into the habit of turning off the wing tanks when in those situations. Never would over flow while in flight conditions. Never did forget to turn it back on either, as when the header gauge starts to drop, it becomes a reality check.
